Virgin coconut oil is known for its nice fragrance, taste, antioxidants, medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), and vitamins, among other things. The main difference between ordinary coconut oil and virgin coconut oil lies in their processes of extraction. While the former is extracted by cold compression or cold milling of Copra (another name for dried Coconut kernels) with a moisture content of around six percent, the latter is extracted from the coconut milk obtained from fresh coconuts. Thereafter, using processes such as fermentation, churning (centrifugal separation), refrigeration, and the action of enzymes, the oil is separated from the water or moisture. In some cases, this fresh coconut oil is boiled to obtain the oil by evaporating the water or moisture. Coconut oil has a multitude of health benefits, which include but are not limited to skin care, hair care, improving digestion and immunity against a host of infections and diseases.

Uses and benefits:

1. Hair Care

Coconut oil is a medium-chain fatty acid, so it’s more easily absorbed by your hair, thus preventing protein loss and damage.

2. Skin Care

Coconut oil is excellent massage oil that acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skin, including dry skin.

3. Weight loss

 Coconut oil is very useful for weight loss. It contains short and medium-chain fatty acids that help in taking off excessive weight. Research suggests that coconut oil helps to reduce abdominal obesity in women. It is also easy to digest and it helps in healthy functioning of the thyroid and endocrine system.  

4. Heart diseases

The omega-6 fatty acid has also been shown to manage blood sugar levels, thereby helping those people who suffer from diabetes to keep their blood sugar even.

5. Infections

Coconut oil contains lauric, capryllic and capric fatty acids. These fatty acids are also found in human breast milk. They fight bacterial and viral infections by deactivating viruses and preventing them from growing.
